Anyone over 45 and pregnant?

I'm 48 and got pregnant with IVF - (1st time) in South Africa. I am 8 weeks pregnant and had my first ultrasound yesterday - it was so exciting! Anyone else in my age catagory? Everyone thinks I'm about 32-33 because I don't look like I'm 48, so I don't really tell people my true age.

I am 47and will be 48 when I deliver in Aug. I got pregnant the old fashioned way, but a shock since it is suppose to be less than 1% naturally. Glad to know someone else my age is having a baby...Gayle

I'll turn 45 two weeks after my due date. This is also my 1st and was conceived naturally. My husband and I have only been married 4 years and after a couple of losses we stopped actively trying so this was a big surprise for us. I think the stats gave us a 3% chance.

I'm younger than 45 but Mom was 48 when she had her last baby, a precious little girl named Lena. Mom took care of Lena until she became an energetic young woman; by then Mom was getting less energetic herself and frail and Lena took care of her until Mom died. Gayle, I noticed that you have 12 children already and your youngest is 4...that's how old my next-to-youngest brother David was when Lena was born, and Mom had 13 children. When we told David that he has a little sister he looked very sober and said, "She doesn't like mush". We used to cook corn mush for breakfast sometimes and David hated it. Turned out Lena did also. Have fun...Sarah T.

Congratulations -- so wonderful that you conceived with your first round of IVF! I'm 45 and due in March; I'll turn 46 about six weeks after my due date. This baby and the one I had at 42, my first, were both conceived naturally.

There is a TTC Over 40 forum here on BabyCenter...I'm sure they would love to hear your story.

I'm 45 and pregnant with my third AMA baby, all conceived naturally. I had one missed miscarriage at 42. All has gone well with this pregnancy so far (32 weeks!) Looking forward to meeting my little girl on March 3rd!
